Small gain today, but not sweating it. I had no injection this morning & I'm going to freeze the rest of this batch just in case I want to do another round after the Vegas trip in July. I don't know if it can last in the freezer that long, but I'll just test it then. Right now I'm just looking forward to a summer full of outdoor activities. Nakia and I are going to buy bikes so we can take advantage of some bike trails in our area. Our bikes were stolen years ago and we never replaced them & I think now is a great time to do so. We never used them so we didn't even notice they had been stolen at first. Isn't that pathetic?

Nakia had one of those misleading losses caused by alcohol today... to bad he can't keep it. He'll be back up 2 lbs tomorrow.

Not much else to report today. I'm just trying to get through my last 72 hours of VLCD... 32 hours to go... and counting. LOL

Blondie - It does feel pretty good & I can't wait to get that variety back into my menu this weekend. Nakia made me promise to give up nuts and nut butters for 2 weeks... I told him that I can do a week... we'll see.

Mo2Lose - I believe that too. There are definately some things that no longer agree with me & they are all processed foods... ie. cheetos. I use to pound them away. Now I can't stand them.

Biz - I sure did learn alot... I always seem to pull a few lessons out of my rounds. Maybe that's the real reason why I've had to do more than I originally planned. There's a reason for everything. I am finally beginning to understand the life changes I need to make.

Gina - Thank you so much. I've always been athletic as well. I gained my weight in my 20s, but I always kept muscle tone in my legs and arms thanks to mom and dad's genes. I think that's why I can carry a little more weight than average.... and you're right... I really am living what I dreamt about when I starting this journey. That's a wonderful thing.

Dawn - Thanks so much! You'll get there Dawn. The most important thing is to not give up. This protocol works like nothing else. I didn't get it right the first few times, but I kept trying and each time I would get a little closer to my goal and things would click a little better in my mind. Eventually, everything started feeling more right & a lot easier. I've gained a real appreciation for delicious fresh food without all the additives. I think I actually needed to slip up a few times.
